solo bass guitar
no edits or overdubs

I played bass and electronics with ambient music pioneer Jon Hassell from 2014-2020 and designed the final software-based iteration of his live/studio rig, which we used in the sessions for his last two albums, Listening to Pictures and Seeing Through Sound.

Unfolding is the first track from my forthcoming album 'Ambient Bass Guitar' (to be released June 9 2023)which began to take shape in 2022 when I took the software setup I’d made for Jon and used it with my bass guitar, opening up new frontiers of sonic exploration. 

I also decided to take Jon’s approach to recording here: one take, with no edits or overdubs. He always felt that the best way to record was to catch the magic of the moment.

All the sounds you hear were produced in real time using complex chains of processing and effects, a live dialogue between a musician and his computer. These sounds are made possible by advanced audio technologies but every note here was played by human fingers on metal strings.

Seismic Showcase: Rose

As a producer, Lamin Fofana makes ambient music that makes you think. His painterly compositions may be beatless, but they're full of movement, expanding and contracting from modulations and shifting frequencies to create a sense of infinite vastness. This immensity of sound creates a cerebral mood, allowing the Sierra Leone-born talent to explore sociocultural issues close to his heart, like the geographies of the African diaspora and what he calls Western rationality in music.

He translates this heavy subject matter into textural sound using narrative structure, field recordings and archival material. The final product could be an album or an audio-based installation. Rooted in themes of identity and belonging, his exhibitions seek to disorient the senses and have been shown around Europe, including the Biennial in Venice and Liverpool.

On his RA Podcast, the New York-based artist presents an all-original mix of loopy techno that mirrors the dynamism of his ambient productions. Laced with acid and pulsing synths, these cuts are faster paced and geared for dance floors, but they share the atmospheric touch of his earlier work. Based on the interview below, it seems like we'll be seeing more of this side of him in the year ahead.

Les Tarasques aka Incendie & River Goblin.  
Electronic signals. Dissonance. Bass frequencies and broken glass. No genre. Violent movement. Fire from within ancient concrete.

this track started as Mar’s personal take on the Honduran national anthem, her Himno Nacional de Honduras en Crisis

recorded with love during one of the country’s biggest crises, 5 years ago

John added grooves and atmospheres and maybe even 

a feeling of hope for the future
